The holidays are upon us and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate and spread some holiday cheer the CBJ way, then by sharing these amazing recipes by some inspired chefs! Below you will find 5 phenomenal recipes that are sure to rock yours and your families worlds!
Chocolate Mint Pretzels
Ingredients:
*1/2 cup Chocolate Whey Protein
*1/2 cup Almond Milk (unsweetened)
*1/4 cup Cocoa Bar In A Jar Thin Mint
*Mini Pretzels
*(optional-crumbled Andes Mints)
To Do:
-Combine almond milk and whey protein until combined well. Whisk in CBJ until incorporated and smooth. Spread pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle chocolate mint mixture over pretzels (it’s okay if a significant amount is on the parchment paper. Those extra bites of chocolate will be just as yummy on their own). Top with crumbled Andes Mint for extra mintiness if you so choose. Chill in the freezer for 20 minutes. Serve! Store unused portions in a ziplock baggie in the freezer.
